You only use the message network for deployment --- you have to stream data from the boot source (attached to one node at the edge) to every node on the chip in order to program them, somehow. But since deploying the program onto a node requires erasing that node, once the network has finished deployment, it no longer exists.
Hmm... writing a TAS-100 simulator would be trivial. Maybe I could --- NO! I've got too many stupid projects on the go as it is!
